Nintendo Switch 2

The first Nintendo game confirmed for the Switch 2 is the new Mario Kart, which was introduced at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. Named Mario Kart World, the game features a variety of vehicles, power-ups that transform racers, grinding, and wall-running.

The Switch 2 will require MicroSD Express Cards for storage expansion, and gamers will be able to transfer data from the original Switch to the Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2 release date is set for June 5, 2025.
Nintendo described three types of Switch 2 games: Switch 2 exclusives, backward-compatible Switch 1 games, and "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" games, which are enhanced ports of Switch 1 games. Super Mario Party Jamboree, launching on July 24, will have new game modes utilizing the Switch 2's features, including mouse controls and a microphone. There will be a cheaper upgrade option for those who own the Switch 1 version.

Additional confirmed titles include EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, James Bond 007, and Yakuza 0: Director's Cut.
Nintendo is collaborating with Koei Tecmo on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, covering the Imprisonment War before Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It will launch this winter for Switch 2.

Coming Dec 10th To GTAO
A Safehouse In The Hills

Coming December 10th to GTAO: A Safehouse in the Hills

 

Premium luxury real estate will be introduced to GTA Online with the release of A Safehouse in the Hills, a significant update launching on December 10th for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.  

Individuals who have attained the upper echelons of success in the criminal underworld may consider investing in a meticulously designed residence located in one of Los Santos’ most prestigious neighborhoods. This property offers exceptional views, premium amenities, and numerous options for customization to suit individual preferences.  

Plus, stop the development of a mass surveillance network in an all-new action packed adventure — along with exquisite new vehicles to collect, the return of a familiar face (spoiler-alert: It’s Michael Townley aka DeSanta), and much more.

 

Beyond being a personal testament to your achievements, a mansion from Prix Luxury Real Estate offers expansive outdoor areas and expertly crafted interiors, complete with a cutting-edge AI Assistant to support both professional and personal tasks, helping you reach your full potential.

Prix Luxury Real Estate properties offer an extensive range of premium amenities, which include dedicated Trophy Cabinets, a private Salon, well-appointed Kennels for pets, and an elegantly designed, illuminated Garage, among other features.  

If you're looking to do more than simply enjoy your success, you can take advantage of features designed to safeguard and grow your profits, such as Production Boosts for your businesses—courtesy of your new virtual assistant—and an optional Private Security team.  

Clients may enhance their experience with optional premium upgrades such as an indoor Car Podium, or choose to add an Armory or Vehicle Workshop within the property's premises—exemplifying the exclusive amenities available to Prix Luxury clients.

Visit prixluxuryrealestate.com to explore these luxury listings in detail and find out more information.

 

GTA+ Members will be granted one week of early access to the Vapid FMJ MK V, the newest model in Vapid’s distinguished line of supercars. Additionally, GTA+ Membership provides exclusive benefits for mansion owners and introduces a new feature in The Vinewood Club App on your iFruit device, enabling remote management of staff members at selected businesses.

 

The Safehouse in the Hills update will introduce new missions, which can be accessed without purchasing a luxury property, along with a selection of advanced vehicles for GTA Online. These additions include new cars compatible with Hao’s Special Works, expanded Missile Lock-On Jammer functionality for more vehicles—including several non-weaponized aircraft—and new Law Enforcement Vehicles, Drift models, Freemode events, and multiple improvements to overall user experience.

A new Mission Creator will soon be available for all versions of GTA Online. This comprehensive toolkit allows users to develop and publish custom missions utilizing advanced game mechanics, tailored objectives, and configurable actors, among other features. Additionally, our Community Resources have been updated to incorporate these new tools, ensuring that GTA Online continues to offer an enjoyable and equitable experience for all participants.  

 

You still have a chance to claim up to GTA$3,000,000 in rewards before A Safehouse in the Hills is introduced. By finishing all three New Listings missions by December 7th, you'll reach the Gold Tier status, giving you access to Prix Luxury Real Estate's special rates — including a generous GTA$2,000,000 discount on any property listings.  

In addition, you'll receive the Black Rockstar Varsity Crewneck for your wardrobe on December 10th, along with a GTA$1,000,000 bonus deposited within 72 hours after you complete the requirements. You can also unlock Black Tier rewards simply by logging in to GTA Online by December 7, which includes a FREE Übermacht Revolter sports car.

This Month In Red Dead Online
Dodge A Bullet

Celebrate the Holidays with a New Red Dead Online Showdown

Additionally, A Merry Call to Arms Returns Featuring Double Rewards, Enhanced Sample Sale Bonuses, and Additional Incentives

 

Race across snowy terrain in Head for the Hills (Dodge a Bullet), which makes its comeback to Red Dead Online’s Featured Series with a holiday-themed map set in Ewing Basin.  

Defenders strategically position themselves on elevated terrain and employ long-range weaponry to eliminate Runners individually as they attempt to reach the Safehouse. Gamers may earn Double RDO$, Gold, and XP on selected Head for the Hills maps within the Featured Series until December 8th. Additionally, winning a match provides a Reward of three Gold Bars.  

Across the frontier, holiday celebrations are evident as winter becomes more prominent throughout the month. Guests may visit their Camp, Moonshine Shack, and the cobbled streets of Saint Denis to experience festive atmospheres. Additionally, the Krampus Shotgun variant will be available once again during the holiday season for those seeking a unique option.  

 

Experience festive excitement as you battle waves of humbugs and troublemakers in a seasonal version of the popular Showdown Mode, A Merry Call to Arms. This event features a new standoff at Fort Wallace along with nine classic maps, each offering Double RDO$, XP, and Gold through January 5th. Find Telegrams with further details in your Camp Lockbox or at the local Post Office.  

Gamers who reach Wave 4 will receive the Red Morning Tail Coat, while those attaining Wave 8 this month will earn an Offer for 10 Gold Bars off any Role Initiation Item.  

 

Tranquilizing and collecting samples from local wildlife, followed by selling these samples to conservationist Harriet Davenport, will yield Triple RDO$, XP, and Role XP throughout this month, all while maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem’s natural life cycle (if you give a rat’s ass about such things).  

Collecting a sample from a Legendary Animal grants access to the Prowler Hat, and selling any sample to Harriet will provide the Amador Pants. Additionally, Naturalists who have achieved Rank 20 may log in at any time this month to obtain the Amador Coat.

 

Everyone who plays Red Dead Online before January 5th will receive the Winter Variant of the Evans Repeater for free—just be careful not to shoot anyone’s eye out with it!  

Gamers who log in during the holiday week (December 23rd – 31st) will receive the Redcliff Outfit. Furthermore, by returning between January 1st and the 5th, gamers are eligible to earn a Reward for a Free Emote, a complimentary Honor Reset, and a Weight Loss Tonic. The Krampus Shotgun will also be available for purchase from December 9th through January 5th.  

 

Christmas isn't limited to eggnog and mistletoe—face those holiday blues with the Featured Series, which kicks off with Head for the Hills (Dodge a Bullet), now featuring an exciting new location at Ewing Basin.  

The festive versions of Make It Count, Last Stand, Spoils of War, and additional selections will be available for the duration of the month.  

Gamers have the opportunity to earn Triple RDO$, Ability Card XP, and XP by engaging in Free Roam Events, which are available every forty-five minutes throughout the frontier. These events offer frequent occasions to demonstrate competitive skills in various challenges.  

 

Complete the following challenges to qualify for a bountiful reward of satchel-fillers:
